Successful Completion of Gold Duke of Edinburgh Practice Expeditions

Congratulations must got to our two Gold Duke of Edinburgh's Award teams for successfully completing their practice expeditions in the Lake District over the first part of the Easter Holiday!

Jonathan, Huw, Ben, Denis, Holly, Jacob, Harriet, Hugo and Anna showed real teamwork, enthusiasm and grit throughout their expeditions. Both teams had a wild weather day to start with: low visibility, pretty high wind and rain at times. That said, their sustained determination enabled them to continue through to a clear and sunny day on the tops of this fabulous mountain range above the beautiful Buttermere Lake. Mrs Phippard was most impressed by such positive team work and the high levels of navigation ability shown by the teams, particularly towards the end of the expedition. Good luck with the qualifier in Snowdonia at half term! An album of photos from the expedition can be seen below.
